Hello Everyone!!!

Gosh I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since the last time I blogged. WOW!I really need to update my blog more often.

Things here are going great. I can't believe Johnny will be 10 weeks on Friday. I can't believe how fast time flies when you have a baby. My days are so occupied with him. I'm still at home on maternity leave and loving every minute of it. I never thought I would love to be a mom as much as I do. It's the best thing in the world.

Johnny has grown a lot. At his 1 month appointment, which he was only 3 weeks, he weighed 8lbs 8 oz. The pedi was very excited with those numbers. He just had his 2 month appointment and he weighs 12lb .5oz and is 23" long. I have to say he eats like a champ. He eats 6 oz of milk every 3 hours and at night before he goes to bed he eats a full 8 oz bottle. We don't have a schedule, he eats when he wants but it's always 3 hours. He basically sleeps and eats all day, just like a newborn. He will be awake for maybe 30 minutes after his bottle but than he will fall asleep and sleep until his next feeding.

He has totally out grown his 0-3 months clothes so he is now wearing 3-6 months. I have to say, it was pretty sad putting away all of his newborn and 0-3 months clothes. It's definitely a good sign that he's a growing boy.

He got his shots and I have to say he did pretty good. He was sleeping (of course) when the nurse came in and as soon as she stuck the needle in his thigh he started to cry and scream. My heart ached when I saw that, that I started to get tears in my eyes and basically I started to cry. I'm horrible when it comes to crying. After the shots, Johnny fell right back to sleep until his next feeding. At night he was a little cranky and was crying quite a bit. You can definitely tell he was in pain. John and I just tried to soothe him as much as we could. The next day he was back to normal.

He's finally starting to smile and it melts my heart. It's the cutest smile ever!
I can't want until he starts to laugh and giggle. It's so adorable.

Well I'll leave you with a few pictures of him!!!
